Question

when I triple A certain number and add 2 I get the same answer as I do when I subtract the number from 50 find the number

Answer 1

Let the number be x

3x + 2 = 50 - x

4x = 48

x = 12

the number is 12

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be X

on tripling the number X,we get=3X

add 2 to the 3X=3x+2

subtract the number X from 50=50-X

by problem,

3X+2=50-X

3X+X=60-2

4X=48

X=48/4

X=12

the number is 12..

hope this helped you
